( Figs. 18–28 ) Type material. Holotype ( ♂ ): China , Guangxi , Longzhou , Nonggang , 14.viii.2013 , leg. X.S. Bai ( IMNU ); pro- vided with type label. Diagnosis. General aspect similar to Neocrassocoris pingbianensis sp. nov. , but distinguished from the latter by its narrow pronotum 2.74 times as wide as long (3.02), anterolateral lobes widely rounded (anterolateral angles produced and forming blunt lobes in pingbianensis ); shorter antennae 2.38 times as long as width of head (2.47); male posterolateral angles of deltg VII rounded (posterolateral angles of deltg VII angular in pingbianensis ). Description of male. Head. Longer than wide across eyes (1.06: 0.86); genae slightly notched anteriorly, reaching basal one-third of first antennal segment; clypeus strongly raised anteriorly, with tubercle near apex; antenniferous tubercles short, dilated, apices acute; antennae 2.38 times as long as width of head across eyes, length of antennal segments I to IV= 0.66: 0.33: 0.73: 0.33; eyes small, convex; postocular tubercles small and not reaching outer margin of eyes, postocular lobes strongly constricted posteriorly; vertex with irregular carinae flanked by a pair of large, ovate infraocular callosities. Pronotum. 2.74 times as wide as long (1.45: 0.53), attenuated anteriorly; collar thick, as wide as diameter of first antennal segment (0.15: 0.15); anterolateral angles slightly produced and widely rounded; disc with a longitudinal median furrow, flanked by a pair of subtriangular plates which meet at anterior margin; laterally of plates disc with four (2+2) tuberculate callosities; laterad of callosities with a pair of subrectangular plates with strongly elevated granulate carinae; posterior margin of pronotum slightly convex separated from mesonotum by a deep furrow. Mesonotum. Wider than pronotum (1.91: 1.45); separated from metanotum by a pair of very deep furrows; elongate, subpentagonal median ridge across meso- and metanota flanked by deep furrows and a pair of longitudinal smooth carinae; laterally of carinae with a pair of subrectangular plates with longitudinal, irregular callosities and granulate carinae along lateral margin. Metanotum and mtg I+II . Wider than mesonotum (2.1: 1.91); median ridge flanked by a pair of deep oval excavations, laterally of with a pair of oval plates with large oval and longitudinal callosities, lateral margins granulate, like those of mesonotum; disc of mtg I with a pair of deep oval depressions sloping anterolaterally; disc of mtg II with a pair of deep furrows, sloping posteriorly and sideways, posterior margin carinate. Abdomen Tergal plate consisting of mtg III–VI, subquadrangular, posterior margin truncate, lateral margins slightly rounded; with a slightly raised median ridge on mtg III, a pentagonal elevation on mtg IV then tapering posteriorly; laterad of median ridge with the usual pattern of large and small callous spots; deltg II+III completely fused, IV–VII separated by fine sulci; posterolateral angles formed by the dorsally reflexed vltg II–VII progressively protruding, posterolateral angles of deltg VII rounded; ptg VIII clavate, reaching to posterior margin of deltg VII; pygophore cordate ( Figs.24–25 ); parameres slender ( Figs.26–28 ). Venter. Sterna III to VI raised along posterior margin, depressed along anterior border and with triangular, smooth spots medially, flanked by a pair of large, transversely ovate shallow depressions, these bearing a pair of round callous spots of usual pattern; spiracles II to VII lateral and visible from above, VIII terminal; lateral rim of male vltg VII with a shiny sublateral callus anterior to spiracle VII. Legs. Slender, preapical comb on fore tibia present, claws with fine pulvilli. Measurements [ in mm, ♂ (n=1) ] . Body length 5.35; maximal width of abdomen 2.55. Head length 1.06, width 0.86. Pronotum length 0.53, width 1.45. Mesonotum width 1.91. Metanotum width 2.1. Length of antennal segments I–IV =0.66, 0.33, 0.73, 0.33. FIGURES 18–19.
